Xobni, an email inbox-management service that has been around since 2006, was Mayer’s most recent purchase, with an estimated price tag somewhere between $30 million and $60 million. But beneath the shopping spree, is there a strategy that ties these acquisitions together?

One obvious answer is mobile, something Mayer said early on would be a major focus for the company as it tried to revitalize its faded business: of the 17 acquisitions that Yahoo has announced since she took over the chief executive job, many have something to do with mobile. Qwiki, for example — which the company bought for an estimated $50 million earlier this week — is a service that allows users to create videos on their phones

Trying to play catch up

Other purchases, however — such as the $1-billion acquisition of Tumblr, and even the acquisition of Xobni itself — aren’t as obviously about mobile. The Tumblr deal seemed to be designed at least in part to restore some luster to Yahoo’s reputation as a cool web company, and to try and generate more traffic for its advertising properties.

Xobni is clearly meant to help Yahoo’s mail product improve, and yet the company has also been languishing on the sidelines of the tech sector for some time now (as has Qwiki). To some extent, that deal seems to be about trying to catch up with Microsoft and Google on features.

That’s one of the problems with many of Yahoo’s acquisitions: they seem to be attempts by Mayer to get Yahoo caught up to other major players, and that’s a strategy that rarely comes with a big payoff. Is the addition of Xobni going to cause dramatically large numbers of people to switch to Yahoo Mail, or to remain with Yahoo Mail instead of switching to Google or some other service?

Adding services like Qwiki, meanwhile, could generate some more heat and light for Yahoo’s mobile efforts, and so could acquisitions like the news-summarization app Summly, which Yahoo paid an estimated $30 million for — despite a complete lack of any revenue, let alone any profits. But at the same time, the frenzy of deals seems to be more like a scattershot “buy anything that says mobile in its feature set” approach than one that is guided by an overall vision of what Yahoo wants to be on phones and tablets.

Can acquisitions change Yahoo’s DNA?

As Om pointed out recently, Mayer has the luxury of a deep pocketbook with which to finance her spending spree: Alibaba, the Chinese portal that Yahoo owns a 23-percent stake in, has continued to increase in value to the point where it could be worth as much as $100 billion, and that — plus some hopes for improved performance based on Mayer’s arrival — has helped Yahoo’s stock price improve over the past six months. So the acquisition binge could well continue for the foreseeable future.

Yahoo has suggested that many of its acquisitions have been about acqui-hiring smart developers and entrepreneurs that it can add to its staff, presumably as a way of injecting some fresh blood into the company and its businesses.

However, Om has also argued in the past that even Mayer and her acquisitions will likely prove to be incapable of changing Yahoo’s core DNA, a cultural miasma that has stymied the efforts of several CEOs before her and made the company a synonym for snatching failure from the jaws of victory. Can the former Googler stitch together the startups she has acquired into something approaching a winning strategy? That remains a rather large question mark.

Xobni allows users to integrate Twitter, LinkedIn, (s LNKD) Facebook, Skype and other services with their Outlook inboxes. But it looks like the company will have something new coming up…

When asked for comment, a Xobni spokesperson sent the following statement:

“We’ve signed a commercial agreement, and as part of that agreement, the partnering company invested money in Xobni. The nature of the agreement will become more obvious as we roll out products.”

There’s been rumors of a massive shutdown and talk of salvaging the old Palm-designed OS or selling it off. But it’s clear the uncertainty is not a way to retain talent.

The departure of Rizkalla highlights the bigger problem for HP. Even as it debates the future of webOS, the fact that it’s potentially on the chopping block has to be sending plenty of signals to the entire team. HP has already confirmed it would be pursuing layoffs of the webOS team, reported to be more than 500 people. The question is what happens to the rest. Do you wait for HP to shut you down or hope for a reprieve? Why not just take matters into your own hands.

At Palm and HP, Rizkalla was responsible for shipping some of the core apps on webOS and previously led the development of webOS 2.0. Now, it looks like he’ll be heading up engineering for Xobni’s mobile products. How many other talented people leave the webOS team before any decision to keep it or discard it becomes moot?

http://gigaom.com/2011/09/27/xobni-launches-smartr-contact-management-for-gmail-and-android/#commentsTue, 27 Sep 2011 16:01:58 +0000http://gigaom.com/?p=411323There is no shortage of ways to get in touch with people these days – from Outlook to iPhone and Twitter to LinkedIn — nor any lack of options when it comes to sharing their details or notes on your relationship history. Are you suffering from an excess of communication channels and the general chaos that comes from having dozens of conversations going across them?

Based on a new Smartr platform that allows the products to rank and index your contacts, the new offerings aim to be “easier and more powerful than anything we’ve ever done,” according to CEO Jeff Bonforte (who makes his pitch for the new products in this short video.) So what exactly do they do?

Smartr for Gmail is a sidebar for your email that lets you search you contacts and, once you’ve found the one you’re looking for, pulls up all your past conversations via mail, message and voice, as well as their photo, job details and Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter updates. With one click you can add them to your other social networks.

Smartr for Android smartphones makes your contacts (up to 10,000) searchable and ranks them by importance, providing a complete profile with a photo, job details, email history, common contacts and social network information for each.

A leader in the field of “social CRM,” Xobni is competing with plenty of other companies offering to bring order to your online connections, including Rapportive, Gist and Liaise. But while the Smartr Gmail offering seems to share a lot with Rapportive on the surface, Xobni is highlighting differentiators such as the ability to generate contacts from more sources like Facebook, Android and Blackberry, better search options, and the ability to view profiles for all members of a multi-party conversation simultaneously.

http://gigaom.com/report/the-future-of-web-conferencing-strategies-and-tools-for-virtual-meetings/#respondTue, 10 May 2011 16:59:25 +0000http://pro.gigaom.com/?p=67127Is a web-based meeting the most effective social construct for today’s collaborative world?

Today, virtual meetings suffer from the assumption that individuals and enterprises want them to function exactly as a face-to-face meeting would; this is particularly true for geographically distributed teams. And since there has been little innovation in this area for over a decade, most businesses — small and large — have bought into the current model, thinking it contains the only set of tools and processes at our disposal. But ideally, enterprises should not be constrained by this, and new technologies, along with behaviors, could finally make web-based meetings more popular — and more productive.

When we initially started meeting online in the 1990s, there were severe limitations to the technology; businesses and organizations had to adapt their behavior to deal with those limitations. But today, an iPhone 4 has more processing power than a mainframe did back then, we have the ability to stream video, and hundreds of thousands of mobile apps at our disposal that are not only elegant but run on smaller, more mobile screens.

Given such technological advancements, why are we still conducting virtual meetings like it’s the ’90s? Most of the web conferencing tools — WebEx, SameTime, LiveMeeting, GoToMeeting — are pretty much the same as they were 10 years ago. Yes, enhancements have been added to them, and they have better support for VoIP and can accommodate more people in a meeting, but overall there has been little innovation in this area for quite a while. And if you’re looking for traditional software vendors to lead the way in this space, think again.

The Tools of Tomorrow’s Web Conference

What would a truly online meeting look like? Ideally we could gather more and different types of information in an online meeting than possible in person because we’re not constrained by the physical limitations that exist with the latter.

For example, through software from AMI called JFerret, my computer is able to track and display user data in a graphic showing “meeting dominance;” instead of me trying to remember what everyone in the meeting has said, my computer generates a written transcript of that information in a separate window. Having this voice-to-text meeting transcript (below) has a lot of benefits: I can scan back through what people have said; I could highlight a word and ask the computer to find out what others in the meeting think about it; I could copy a colleague’s words back into the conversation to remind them of their prior comment; and I might pull action items out of the transcript and ensure someone in the meeting was assigned them as a resources for the task.

What if meeting software told me the skin temperature and pupil dilation size of everyone in the meeting using a dynamic graphic like a sound meter? With this information, I would not only know who is listening, but how my words affect them emotionally, even when they are not in the same room with me. Finally, computers could analyze what is said in a meeting, search for keywords and pull up any blogs, online discussions or social network feeds on the topic so attendees could view their discussion in a larger context.

I have not seen a tool that does all of this currently (though that does not mean it isn’t out there). Gist, now owned by Research in Motion, does about half the job: It allows users to do intelligent aggregation of each attendees inboxes (Outlook, Facebook LinkedIn, etc.), and also places those individuals in context by creating a profile using publicly available information from sources such as Rapleaf. New versions of Xobni Pro, meanwhile, allow you identify contacts from your email and get photos, job and company information and updates for your contacts’ LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter accounts.

Something most executives I know wish for is the ability to attend more than one meeting at the same time. At some point in the near future, my avatar (left) might be smart enough to attend a meeting for me and report back when it’s over.

InteliWISE first introduced intelligent avatars in 2008 in the SecondLife virtual environment. “At InteliWISE we have created an avatar – a virtual employee, which never sleeps, and thanks to AI algorithms and its ‘learning’ process, the virtual employee can talk to hundreds of clients at the same time,” Marcin Strzałkowski, InteliWISE CEO, wrote in a blog post. “Our virtual employee is directed at the companies and institution[s] which want to present themselves in the best possible way in Second Life.”

All of this augmented meeting software would give either the meeting initiator or attendees more information than they would get with a traditional face-to-face meeting, or with some of the older tools currently on the market.

Meeting Management Behavior

Online meetings are not just about technology; people and process remain the other critical elements for success. How many boring project status meetings have you sat through (virtual or in person)? How many meetings have you attended with an interesting subject matter, but the person running the meeting was inept? How many times has the conversation gone off topic and the discussion entails something that in the long run makes little difference?

There are some new tools available to help with meeting management and behavior:

YAM runs in a browser and offers features like brainstorming, Whiteboard and SWOT analysis. It can also integrate with Skype, WebEx and Outlook.

MeetingSense is similar in that it also offers pre- and post-meeting collaboration, agendas and other meeting features; it is tied to Outlook.

PowerNoodle includes brainstorming features, tools for convergence and prioritization of ideas and eventually moving the resolutions into tasks and follow up. The tool helps facilitators make their meetings more interesting and keeps them on track for better outcomes.

One suggestion I have for all of these meeting improvement tools is to dump their task output into a project management tool. YAM, for instance, is working with Google Tasks, and MeetingSense can place tasks into Outlook. By allowing this, the software can often give the meeting facilitator immediate feedback, saying, for example, that “Roger is already committed as a resource 120 percent for that time period.” This means that the task owner must find someone else as a resource.

Aside from technology, here are other rules for better meetings:

Don’t do status meetings in person (or virtually). Save those real-time interactions to deal with issues that need a back-and-forth conversation to work out a solution. You are better off posting status updates in a distributed project management (DPM) tool like PIEMatrix, TeamBox or Central Desktop. Status information works better asynchronously; if it is so important that the status has to be updated right way, then it probably is an issue that needs to be discussed in a real-time conversation.

Don’t let the tool get in the way of the conversation. How many times have you been asked to be in a WebEx or GoToMeeting event where you must log in, download the software, deal with the audio (VoIP or POTS) and make sure everyone else is on the same page (literally) before starting the actual conversation? Often when we talk with our large enterprise clients about their use of WebEx or Adobe Connect, we hear complaints; usually they are about the meeting process and how awkward it is, or how the technology did not work correctly.

Don’t run a meeting you own. This is a mistake most people make. But if you have ever been in a facilitated meeting, you can see/hear the difference immediately. In this case, the meeting owner or convener is able to listen and be part of the meeting rather than being forced to run the meeting — which often leads to them doing a poor job at both. The best scenario is to have a meeting facilitator like the ones at Facilitate.com or PowerNoodle, but if that resource is not available, assign someone in the meeting to the role of facilitator and another person to the role of scribe.

People need to do their homework before meetings. In some meeting tools, like Adobe Connect, you can create a persistent meeting space. You can post different documents or objects there and notify the meeting participants that the content is available and should be read prior to the meeting. With some of these tools you can track who has read which document, and when. You can also track any conversation that occurred around any of this content.

Ensure outcomes from the meeting are assigned as tasks to the appropriate people. Make sure that task outputs are easily moved into a task tool or project-management tool. Otherwise they run the risk of getting lost.

I believe we are working today with tools focused on an old model of face-to-face meetings. Today’s meeting software should give us more information, make virtual meetings a more efficient set of processes and support both synchronous and asynchronous interactions. Once these virtual meetings start to change, they will become more ubiquitous — and more effective for businesses.

The first crop of gadgets includes tools for web-based document sharing, lead tracking, issue reporting and monitoring, and note-taking, such as:

An Evernote gadget that automatically displays notes containing the name or email address of a particular contact, and allows adding and editing.

A Dropbox tool for finding files and sharing them by creating links that are entered into email messages. Drag-and-drop file sending is planned for the future.

Xobni was one of the first companies to bring “social CRM” services to the inbox, but has more recently seen significant competition from the likes of Rapportive, Gist and Liaise. By hooking into third-party services, the gadgets can offer offer additional capabilities not offered by Xobni’s competitors.

When I spoke with Xobni representatives recently, they said that the rationale for developing this platform was simple: research shows that in the enterprise, people spend 38 percent of their screen time in Outlook, so it makes sense to make Outlook as capable as possible.

Xobni says that its system relies on open APIs, and it is based on OpenSocial. Developers can create their own gadgets; they can be created with straightforward web development tools. The infrastructure can even be hosted on intranets to take advantage of corporate LDAP servers. Gadgets are not yet part of Xobni for Gmail beta, (s goog) but they are on the way.

The new Xobni gadgets are available from the company’s website. Most of the Xobni Gadgets are free, but the JIRA and Saleforce gadgets are priced at $9.99 per user per year. Xobni handles billing and payment for developers.

http://gigaom.com/2011/03/18/xobni-gmail/#commentsFri, 18 Mar 2011 17:00:47 +0000http://gigaom.com/?p=319245Xobni, the maker of a popular add-on for Microsoft Outlook (s msft) that provides details about user contacts and faster search, is finally bringing its tool to Gmail (s goog) and Google Apps.

Xobni for Gmail, which works via a browser plugin for Chrome and Firefox, adds a sidebar to Gmail to help you search and manage your contacts. Like the Outlook version, you can get at-a-glance information about individual contacts, including their name, picture, job title, company and full social network details.

Xobni for Gmail, however, isn’t merely a clone of its Outlook version. For example, it includes unique relationship history tools, suggestions for related contacts whenever you email an existing contact, and a multimedia module to view social updates from people in your network. What’s more, subscribers to the premium Xobni Pro subscribers, which provides access to additional features in the product, will be able to use the Xobni cloud service to sync contacts across Xobni for Outlook, BlackBerry (s rimm) and Gmail, and also across the upcoming Xobni for iPhone and Android (private betas of which will be available shortly).

This all sounds great, but it’s a bit late — to say the least. When Xobni launched its sidebar for Outlook back in 2008, it was a novel idea that attracted a significant number of users. Since then, many useful Xobni-like products, such as Rapportive and MailBrowser, have been released for Gmail. We’ll have to see whether Xobni can tempt Gmail users away from the social CRM tools they currently use. My take? Xobni for Gmail looks polished and offers good features, and I really like the ability to sync contacts across multiple email clients on the desktop and mobile devices using Xobni Pro.

Xobni for Gmail isn’t yet broadly available, but you can request access to the private beta at the Xobni website. We have an invite code for 100 readers to get priority access: Use XOBNI-GO when signing up. The basic Xobni service is free, while Xobni Pro (which provides access to the Xobni cloud service and some additional functionality, such as advanced search and “Spam rescue”) costs $7.99 per month.

Not only are new software and applications coming to market, but also new concepts for how to work and communicate in the knowledge age.

Hosted enterprise lite applications — like those from Box.net, Huddle and Basecamp — have grown in popularity over the last two years, and are taking new software past enterprise IT decision-making processes — often unseen. These apps use a freemium business model that allows users to adopt the application initially without charge, and then through a low-cost subscription generally paid for by the employer.

At the same time, a new generation of enterprise-grade software, known as Enterprise 2.0, focused heavily on collaborative work and social networking, has been comparatively slow to make headway. Companies like Jive, Moxie and Traction now face the challenge of offering enterprise-grade collaboration suites while still keeping pace with cheaper, more user-friendly new entrants.

Meanwhile, large enterprise vendors like Microsoft and Oracle have been updating their solutions’ platforms for the enterprise social networking era to mixed reviews, raising the question of whether enterprise vendors “get” the social aspect of work. In this review of new work platforms, we look to consumer-grade services, new and incumbent Enterprise 2.0 (E2.0) platforms, extensions to existing platforms or singlefeature offers and the old software ERP vendors.

http://gigaom.com/2010/12/22/5-alternatives-to-social-crm-service-etacts/#commentsWed, 22 Dec 2010 15:00:19 +0000http://gigaom.com/?p=279354Yesterday, Om reported that Etacts is to be shut down. While that’s bad news for users of the social CRM service, fortunately, there are plenty of alternatives available. While none of them provides an exact like-for-like replacement for Etacts, here is a selection of the more useful social CRM tools that have been reviewed by the WWD team:

Gistis an online service that “connects your inbox to the web,” automatically building a profile for each of your contacts from the data that’s available in your inbox and via their social networking profiles. Like Etacts, it will also remind users if they haven’t been in touch with an important contact for a while. It’s available as a Chrome extension, Firefox add-on, and also as iPhone (s aapl) and Android apps, and can work with Gmail (s goog), Outlook (s msft) and Lotus Notes (s ibm). The service is currently free. See Scott’s review of Gist here.

Rapportiveuses social data (pulled from the controversial Rapleaf service) to provide additional information about your contacts. It replaces the adverts in Gmail’s sidebar with useful information about your contacts: a photo, bio and links to social media accounts (Twitter, LinkedIn, Flickr (s yhoo), etc) and works via a Firefox add-on or Chrome extension. As the information is taken from the Rapleaf database, the results are sometimes hit-and-miss, depending on how well Rapleaf has managed to tie a particular contact’s email address to various social media accounts. Rapportive is free. See my review of Rapportive here.

Plaxois an online address book that can store contacts from Gmail, Outlook, Hotmail, Yahoo Mail, Facebook, LinkedIn and more. Like Etacts, it’s “socially aware,” tracking social feeds from Twitter and Facebook to keep users up-to-date on their contacts. The basic Plaxo service is free; Plaxo Premium adds sync with Outlook Contacts, Google Contacts and Windows Mobile and some additional features and costs $36.95 per year. See Judi’s review of Plaxo v.3 here.

MailBrowser. Webyog’s MailBrowser is another CRM app that works with Gmail to provide additional data about your contacts, and can automatically keep contact information up-to-date by pulling data from emails. However, it doesn’t provide easy access to social network profiles or updates. Unlike some of the other services here, MailBrowser is a locally installed app, so it may be a better choice for users with privacy concerns. MailBrowser is free, and is available as an IE plugin, Firefox add-on and Chrome extension. See my review of MailBrowser here.

Xobniis a popular productivity add-on for Outlook (s msft) that provides a sidebar offering additional information about your contacts culled from their social network profiles and emails. It can automatically extract information like phone numbers from email messages, and also provides a threaded conversation view and easier ways to find attachments. The basic Xobni product is free, while Xobni Plus costs $30 and adds advanced search features, auto suggest, support for more than one PST file and more. See Scott’s hands-on review of Xobni here.

Tue, 12 Oct 2010 15:05:35 +0000http://gigaom.com/?p=164993A new version of Xobni, a popular search and relationship management add-on for Microsoft Outlook (s msft), is being released today, including integration with Huddle, a cloud-based collaboration suite. Huddle data will appear in Xobni’s sidebar, providing users with visibility of project workflows, the most recent communications between team members and ready access to the latest versions of uploaded files in their inboxes. An auto-identification feature will also provide users with insight into contacts that share a Huddle workspace with them.

As Xobni has added support for Gmail contextual gadgets (third-party email applications for Gmail (s goog) that pull information from the web to augment the data in a user’s inbox) to this release, we can probably expect to see more useful gadgets, like Huddle, coming to Xobni’s sidebar.

Gmail gadget support in Xobni is interesting, because it means that it is essentially providing a bridge for third-party email application developers, who can now build applications for one platform (Gmail) but also have the same app work in another (Outlook). That’s good news for web app developers, like Huddle, who may have previously found integrating with a desktop email client like Outlook tricky, although it should be noted that only a small percentage of Outlook users will have Xobni installed.
